Addressing the seriousness and problems of school violence
A fairy tale that teaches courtesy and respect for others

The sequel to 『Malicious Comment War』, which has sold 150,000 copies over a long period of time and has been especially loved by countless children in Korea and around the world, 『Malicious Comment War 2: An Inconvenient Prank』 has been published.
If 『Malicious Comment War』 dealt with the problem of verbal violence in cyberspace and helped children learn proper Internet culture of respect and consideration for others, 『Malicious Comment War 2: Inconvenient Pranks』 deals with the problem of school violence that is getting worse and talks about the importance of manners and respect for others in addition to the laws and systems put in place to prevent school violence.
The very special fun and emotion that can be felt in 『Malicious Comment War』 is also contained in 『Malicious Comment War 2: An Uncomfortable Prank』, so it will be a delightful gift to the countless children who have been waiting for the sequel to 『Malicious Comment War』.

According to the Ministry of Education's '2022 First School Violence Survey,' the rate of school violence in elementary schools, which was 8.5% in 2001, more than doubled to 17.8% in 2022.
In particular, the analysis revealed that this phenomenon occurred as a result of children not going to school and taking online classes at home or having shortened classes due to the COVID-19 pandemic that lasted for about three years, which led to a lack of communication and rapport skills that should have been formed through bumping into and interacting with classmates.
As we live in an era of severe 'communication breakdown' due to COVID-19, not only adults but also children have shown a tendency towards violence.
In the current situation where school violence is becoming increasingly serious, "Malicious Comment War 2: Inconvenient Pranks" is a fairy tale of great significance and value, as it not only vividly exposes the school violence that occurs among elementary school students, but also suggests ways to overcome the problem.


Most children say their actions have nothing to do with school violence.
Whenever a problem arises, everyone says this.


“School bullying? Hey, it was just a joke between friends.”

They talk rudely to their friends, tease them, push them over, hit them, strangle them by pretending to be playing the fainting game, force them to borrow things, and make all sorts of threats and taunts on social media, all while shamelessly covering it up by saying, "We were just joking around."


The same goes for Bo-kyung and her gang in 『War of Malicious Comments 2: Uncomfortable Pranks』.
He often harasses and torments Jang Mi, who appears innocent and naive, and even when he gives her medicine, he tries to make excuses by saying it was all a joke.
This work tells us that what may be considered a trivial prank by the perpetrator of violence can deeply wound the victim, damaging their self-esteem and, in severe cases, leaving them with lifelong, indelible trauma.


It is very difficult for a person who has been a victim of school violence to overcome the pain alone.
In this work, Jang-mi, a victim of school violence, is shown by her friends who are willing to help her overcome her suffering by holding her hand.
Friends who appeared in 『Malicious Comment War』 and experienced conflict appear in 『Malicious Comment War 2: An Inconvenient Prank』 and join forces to help Jang-mi avoid school violence.
Thanks to those friends, Jangmi gradually breaks free from the shackles of school violence and stands on her own with confidence and courage.

"Malicious Comment War 2: Uncomfortable Pranks" captures the fascinating story of how someone's prank can become violence to someone else, causing great physical and emotional harm.
I hope that young readers will gain the precious understanding that no matter how weak a friend may be, they have no right to treat others rudely, and that everyone deserves respect.
